Where did “Hearing Impaired” come from?

I used hearing impaired to those who had hearing all their life but lost it. Hearing loss is scary for hearing people because they have taken it for granted for so long. It mean they have to adjust their lifestyle and it isn’t easy for them. In a way, it is kinda like losing your right arm which you have always used to write with, and now you have to come up with a new way to write. I never felt my hearing is broken or loss because it is the life I’ve always known.
